Acapulco Gold Cannabis Grow Info

Acapulco Gold’s exotic origins mean that this bud thrives in outdoor tropical conditions. We’re talking sunshine and high temperatures to get a thriving plant, which is ready to harvest by mid-late October.

Unfortunately, more growers are now moving indoors as the seeds are grown across the world, and although it can grow well indoors, it is just a mere imitation of the original Acapulco Gold from the 60s. Indoor growers can expect the bud to flower for 70-75 days, with yields of around 16 ounces per square meter.

Acapulco Gold is typically considered a medium difficulty plant to grow, so newbies to the industry who have limited gardening experience may want to stay clear of this one for now. Although work will need to be put in to maintain this beautiful bud, it does give back! Acapulco Gold is a robust plant and is resilient to many of the common causes of plant damage such as mold, bacteria, and insects.

Medical Benefits of the Acapulco Gold Cannabis Strain

Despite its status as a luxury strain, Acapulco Gold is also extremely beneficial as a medicinal cannabis strain, with THC levels of around 23%, it boasts many potential benefits.

Sufferers from some mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression have been known to reach for Acapulco Gold to benefit from its potent mental high that kicks in fast with a boost of euphoria and high-energy.

It is due to its sativa properties that Acapulco Gold is a great pain reliever, and can be used to help with muscle spasms, nausea and inflammatory pain making it an excellent all-rounder to relieve the symptoms of a host of conditions.

Acapulco Gold’s clear-headed high makes it ideal for fatigue and boosting motivation, while its soothing body high combats insomnia and general aches and pains.

It’s no wonder that the Oxford English Dictionary officially defined this super happy strain as a “special grade of cannabis growing in the city of Acapulco” – it really is something else.

Possible Side Effects of Acapulco Gold

Like with any strain of cannabis, too much can come with some adverse side effects, so ensuring you stay within your limits of tolerance is key to enjoying marijuana to its full potential.

Acapulco Gold has a few typical side effects such as dry eyes and mouth, with some people reporting mild anxiety and paranoia as a result of the strain. We would recommend starting low and working up to a level that suits you to avoid any unpleasant effects.
